Is it the content or is the way it comes out (execution-wise) that is more pleasing to you. It also does not matter what format it is in – a photo, a gif, a video or a musical meme.

Another factor that comes into play when you are checking out the memes is, is it shareable. Now if you come across a content that is not good enough or too vulgar, it is not very shareable, but again it is subjective.
